| Cellist [[Yo-Yo Ma]] and saxophonist [[Joshua Redman]] duke it out in a classical-vs.-jazz battle at the Elwood City Library.<ref name=ket/>
| | The Elwood City Library is looking for a musician to perform for the children's show later in the week. D.W. suggests that they find the guy who wrote Crazy Bus, her favorite song, which annoys Arthur. This makes Arthur and Francine look for Josh Redman, Francine's "uncle". After watching a concert with Grandma Thora, D.W. decides to ask cellist Yo Yo Ma to perform at the library's children's show. Arthur and his friends think that it is a horrible idea and think that they may end up fighting each other. To their surprise, Yo Yo Ma and Josh Redman get along, and the episode ends with a jazz rendition of Crazy Bus. The kids find this very good, even Arthur, who considers it a more better version of the song. |
